Tripartite interactions: Leishmania, microbiota and Lutzomyia longipalpis. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2020
The microbial consortium associated with sandflies has gained relevance, with its composition shifting throughout distinct developmental stages, being strongly influenced by the surroundings and food sources. The bacterial components of the microbiota can interfere with Leishmania development inside the sandfly vector.

Genome Mining Reveals a Novel Nephthenol-Producing Diterpene Synthase from the Sandfly Lutzomyia Longipalpis. [PDF]

Chembiochem
The discovery of a terpene synthase of insect origin that makes the apparently cryptic product nephthenol from geranylgeranyl diphosphate sheds light on hidden biosynthetic potential. Populations of the sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, use the diterpene sobralene as a sex/aggregation pheromone, which is likely produced in the insect through the activity

Ecology of Lutzomyia longipalpis and Lutzomyia migonei in an endemic area for visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2014
The main vector for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is Lutzomyia longipalpis. However, the absence of L. longipalpis in a region of autochthonous VL demonstrates the participation of other species in the transmission of the parasite. Studies conducted in La Banda, Argentina, and São Vicente Férrer, Pernambuco State, Brazil, have correlated the ...

Improved annotation of Lutzomyia longipalpis genome using bioinformatics analysis. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Lutzomyia longipalpis, a sand fly, is a vector-spreading pathogenic protozoan in the New World. MicroRNA (miRNA) is evolutionarily-conserved non-coding RNA, which plays critical roles in various biological processes. To date, the functions of most proteins in L. longipalpis are unknown, and few studies have addressed the roles of miRNAs in this species.

Lutzomyia longipalpis saliva or salivary protein LJM19 protects against Leishmania braziliensis and the saliva of its vector, Lutzomyia intermedia. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
BACKGROUND: Leishmania transmission occurs in the presence of insect saliva. Immunity to Phlebotomus papatasi or Lutzomyia longipalpis saliva or salivary components confers protection against an infection by Leishmania in the presence of the homologous ...
